8. Which one's Kenny?
I'd opt for the big O, as every attack against him fails to stop him.

7. The US media truly sucks; thank you for these, and I have not
seen any of them anywhere. Why was this trip so unimportant, except for the criticism? Stunning photos!

9. Practically all news about the trip was crowded out

By non-stories about a comedian and a full court press on why he wasn't knee-jerking in response to tax cuts that expire automatically

12. Well, one thing that became clear...
... (from their Tweets) about half way through the press got REALLY tired. On their six hour flight from Indonesia to Korea, all they had to eat was potato chips and candy because the company that brought the food didn't show up in time (they left early because of the volcano.) ... Their hotels sometimes were cramped and dirty. .... now, they're all very fortunate to have the jobs they have, but you can imagine ANYONE would be exhausted after all of that.

14. Lovely collection of pics!!!
I always like the ones with children. They all look so happy to be around Michelle.

Poor Cristina Fernandez, she just lost her husband, the former president of Argentina.

:-)
